Which destructive outcome was frequently encountered early in shipbuilding history when green timbers were enclosed within impermeable layers?

💡 Explanation

Dry rot occurred because of anaerobic conditions due to the lack of air circulation facilitating fungal decomposition within the wood triggering, a type of degradation of cellulose as Impermeable layers prevent oxygen flow rather than other chemical or failures.
